According to a report by [[Women on Waves]],{{Better source needed|date=October 2021}} approximately 25% of the world's population{{As of?|date=December 2021}} lives in countries with "highly restrictive abortion laws"—that is, laws which either completely ban abortion, or allow it only to save the [[maternal death|mother's life]]. This category includes several countries in [[Latin America]], [[Africa]], [[Asia]] and [[Oceania]], as well as [[Andorra]] and [[Malta]] in [[Europe]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.womenonwaves.org/en/page/460/abortion-laws-worldwide|title=Abortion Laws Worldwide|first=Marc|last=Worrell|website=Women on Waves}}</ref> The [[Center for Reproductive Rights]] report that "[t]he inability to access safe and legal abortion care impacts 700 million women of reproductive age."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://reproductiverights.org/worldabortionlaws|title=The World's Abortion Laws {{!}} Center for Reproductive Rights|website=reproductiverights.org|language=en|access-date=7 January 2020}}</ref>
